Possibly a final message from this account, due to access issues (sending this from an ancient Hootsuite account, before the related account is closed). Should we remain Twitter-silent from hereon in, ShiverWrigglers, rest assured we've had a grand time! It's been emotional SWx

We don't actually believe that all good things must come to an end, but this good thing is pausing on a possibly-permanent basis. For now, you can still access excerpts from our archive: https://t.co/7MqzevUMtg

Thanks for all your contributions and support over the years. SWx

Here Be Hares #TheMistySolitudes
"She surveyed the situation for some time, watching to see if they’d return or make another dash somewhere. When they didn’t reappear, she gave a canine equivalent of a cheerful shrug and returned to her stick."

Rustles and Redwoods #TheMistySolitudes
"The wood anemones were on a mission, catching up with the periwinkle. It was too hot for hats, and jackets were light."

Away from the Wind, the World #TheMistySolitudes
"But, by the time you make it to the Greenwood, the wind becomes a memory. The background hum of the world fades a little, and the trees begin to absorb you."

The Colour of Spring #TheMistySolitudes
"Like the woods, people around me (metaphorically, virtually) are rustling. And, after a winter of thinking and preparing, I am picking up my (metaphorical, virtual) notebook again."

@AlexanderMCrow Yes, you must: consider thinking caps firmly on!

Vague, Not A Travel Writer, Lord Canewaxer, Alexander M Crow, Alex Crow, Alex, and - occasionally, in person - even Al. The brother, friend, and person that is @AlexanderMCrow was one of the founding authors of ShiverWriggle. Ten years ago, he upped and left for wilder places.

In Praise of Puddles #TheMistySolitudes
"There is something to be said for stomping through puddles in a pair of wellington boots, regardless of your age." https://t.co/Fx1IpFARKQ

[ShiverWriggle @ShiverWriggle]

These days, you can find Alex on Substack, amongst other places, where he shares updates on travels and observations of nature, life in Alentejo, and his writing. After those months spent in wilder places, he never went back to his old life. Only forward. https://t.co/tIPSTI92wl

[ShiverWriggle @ShiverWriggle]

Alex documented some of his experiences for ShiverWriggle at the time, and you can still find these in the archive on the current site. They include an interview three years after he jumped on that train, a ghost story, and even some cookery suggestions. https://t.co/7nv5oyHpRo

[Planet_Aur @OhrelyB]

If you wish to be taken on a journey started 10 years ago, if you wish to be so taken by the words that you literally leave your place for a few minutes to be sitting with the writer on his train journey to a new life and adventure, then please read this piece!

Mushrooms and Ignorance #TheMistySolitudes
"I have convinced myself that, this year, not only do there seem to be more mushrooms, but there is more evidence of their decay." https://t.co/g6flAqalS8

An Introduction to #TheMistySolitudes
"We are fortunate in having The Woods straight out of our backdoor, more or less. A hop, skip, jump: and there they are." https://t.co/1UsdX30YJ2

Plant Potatoes and Dream
Hello again, ShiverWrigglers! We’re back! What better time to rejoin the world than just as everything has gone a little bit off-track. https://t.co/TuzufrL4aR #ShiverNews

"I can always recognise that lightness of flight into the holly and over the wall. The robin will then sit on top of Socrates, our ancient and venerable garden gnome who sees all and says nowt."
